Should I upgrade from 980Ti to 1080 or wait for 1080Ti

Hello guys !

During the past few days I saw many news about GTX 1080 and I am really excited for this GPU. Anyone have ideals about real-life performance of this card ? Should I upgrade to it from 980Ti or wait for 1080Ti ? It is not released yet but if I don't sell my 980ti soon the money I can get back will be drop dramatically.

I am gaming at 2k and 4k res (max setting is most preferred)

No, there is no real information about these cards.
Youll have to wait for actual benchmarks before taking any recommendations. Dont listen to any nvidia cherry picked promised results.

Gam3r01 :

I know, sadly in my local the 2nd/used 980Ti price is dropping $15-$25 each 2 days since 1080 was announced.

I wouldn't. Keep it until 1080 ti is out.

Is your current card insufficient in any game you currently play? I wouldn't upgrade for the sake of upgrading unless one or more new titles are forcing me to drop settings (which happened a while ago for me with Witcher 3 at 2k >.<, but I've been waiting for Pascal).

The price drop in second hand 980Tis may make an SLI solution more viable as your next upgrade depending on the time-frame of how long your current 980Ti is able to keep up. Last time I checked this was still a hench card in it's own right, though idk about 4k.

You should wait until your existing equipment no longer does what you need it to do.

Thank you guys,

I think I will wait for 1080Ti or higher generations, I will wait until I am able to purchase a 4k monitor and 1080Ti at the same time !

It's a good question and one that I've been asking myself. But I don't think you can make an informed decision until YouTube reviewers get their hands on the new GPUs and benchmark performance.

I would say it depends on the games you play, and the resolution and refresh rate you're trying to push. If you have a 1080p (60Hz-144Hz) I think you would be fine with your 980ti in most games for a while. Probably until the 1180s come out assuming they keep the generation scheme the same. Once the 1080 is in full swing (thus a drop in prices for the 980ti), and you have the power available in your PSU and room in your case then I would suggest possibly getting an additional 980ti if you really need the performance. They way it would be cheaper, though, if you have a 980ti and are already willing to upgrade to a 1080 I doubt money's your problem.

Nontheless,
Tate
